Raye Man Kojast? translates a Persian blog entry:

Armed militias along with security forces on motorcycles attacked some of the dormitories at Amir Kabir University today. In an attack that took place in the Golshan dormitory on Behafarin Street, militias entered the dorms, and assaulted both students and the dorm security guards. According to Amir Kabir News, the militias stormed the building and destroyed building facilities. In this attack, tear gas was used and the prayer room, study room, showers were vandalized on various floors.

There is still no word from a number of students residing in these dorms. Militias along with other security forces also entered the Yavari dorms and threatened the students. The militias have announced that they will attack the dormitories again tonight.
